Technical notes: The show is over 167 minutes. I moved the filler to the end of the last disc and used Audacity to combine WAVs and eliminate a half-song overlap on the old discs 2 and 3. In the filler I also eliminated: harsh transistions with quarter-second fades; and a couple 10-second silence transitions. I also normalized some filler (d3t8 and d3t9 up; d3t11 down).

Notes on the filler:
1. The two with Robert Hunter (d3t4 & d3t5) could be from 10/29/97 or 10/30/97 (neither of which I have; but neither track is compressed so if the 10/29/97 webcast was compressed these aren't from it).
2. Disc 3 tracks 6 through 9 could be from 10/29/97 (they are not compressed).
3. Disc 3 track 10 could be from 10/30/97.
4. Disc 3 track 12 is a duet with Dylan, so it may be from 12/95.
Trades Allowed Yes
